Answer:

FIRST OPTION.

Explanation:

Given the expression
\sqrt{(2x^5)/(18)}, you can find an equivalent expression simplifying.

The first step is to descompose 18 into its prime factors:


18=2*3*3=2*3^2

Remember the Product of powers property, which states that:


(a^m)(a^n)=a^((m+n))

Then you can rewrite the expression in this form:


\sqrt{(2x^4x)/(2*3^2)

Knowing that
\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a, you get the following equivalent expression:


\sqrt{(2x^4x)/(2*3^2)


(x^2)/(3)\sqrt{(2x)/(2)}


(x^2√(x))/(3)
